so mat79, are you saying that need to waste quite some fuel to get the car going in D mode?

get that sluggish feel from stagnant also during my test drive. this is my first CVT and din try VW or any turbocharged before so I cant do comparison.
good explanation by mat79 but cant brain half of wat he said.
btw i also test drove Elantra MD 1.6HS and the sluggishness is just slightly better than Preve. for me it does not justify paying 24k more to own it. in fact, handling during corners is better in Preve IMHO.
so i booked CFE premium white  rclxm9.gif

By kristof:

1) You have mentioned that the clutch is almost completely open while standing still with D engaged, is this the prime reason of slight lagging when slowly pressing the gas to move?

yes, if you release the brake and immediately press the gas, this is the case. It is always better not to press the gas immediately unless you have to (uphill), you will notive less delay. That it isn't superagressive at launch (if you would mean this by lag) is calibration, it is to preserve both engine and CVT. it is called torque reduction, the engines power delivery is minimized, although full throttle.

For issue with CVT etc etc.. lagging bla bla... please go to this thread:

http://forum.autoworld.com.my/index.php?sh...54&st=0&start=0

There is a guy call Kristof who is the Manager of Customer Care Malaysia @ Punch Powertrain replying directly all the question ask. Please read all his prev comment before asking question as many of them has been asked before. Also please please ppl!! refrain from being an idiot that pretend smart punya attitude and taint msian reputation...
*
hmm....i have aggresive driving style, especially enjoy quick pick up from standstill.
when i say it will waste more fuel in D mode, perhaps i should rephrase...
while delay, if i still pedal it, it consumes fuel correct? this is where it waste fuel, because of human behavior, not engine capability, correct?


frankly, when i saw "1.6L turbocharged", straight in mind, must be very powerful, pickup fast....guess need to read more about CVT.... notworthy.gif

i rather not speculate whether it will consumer more fuel or not.. i dont see a point to it. to really know have to wait owner to test fuel consumption...

1 thing to remember is, DBW is not like wired.. so things might be more complicated then a simple simplification...
*
DBW is...?
sorry, not familiar with the term...

just saw one, overall very nice car for 72k

but the problem that i noticed is with the auto light and rain sensor, it is way too big till it causes vision problems

also, the glovebox needs to redesign, i knw why it breaks. plus the driver's compartment, below the steering has issues with opening and closing. feels like it is going to snap off in a moment.
*
please, its 73k for premium spec....not 72k...
1k is a big difference...

haha..didnt notice though..impressed by the solid thump it makes for a local car. in fact, it sounds better than my inspira. however, the seats are not as good as the inspira.

if the gloveboxes are improved, just nice. the steering looks better in person than in picture, i dont know why
*
i think the whole looks way better by my own eyes compare to picture...
when i went to the showroom, i was like...from afar, wow...this is different the previous proton car....but when i see the interior... ohmy.gif

Bro, if you can go to Glenmarie, I would advise you to go to the Ara Damansara branch.

1) Super long roads that sees little traffic
2) Bumpy roads that allows u to test suspension
3) Not as many people know about this place compared to Glenmarie which would probably be as crowded as a pasar malam

Oh, to answer you question, I saw 6 speakers.
*
man, that's selangor and penang, even though my hometown is in selangor...hmm...maybe i will buy it at selangor, depend on SA's offer...now just collecting information on which SA in which branch gives the best offer...

went test drive today...can only say i have too much expectations on the power of the car....handling good, the rest such as interior, design, gadgets, etc....acceptable, but not satisfied...can cope with it...
